terms of any licenses or other legal 

restrictions on the use of pre-existing 

works. 

Additionally, a grantee or subgrantee 

that is awarded competitive grant funds 

must have a plan to disseminate these 

public grant deliverables. This 

dissemination plan can be developed 

and submitted after your application has 

been reviewed and selected for funding. 

For additional information on the open 

licensing requirements please refer to 2 

CFR 3474.20. 

4. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

under 2 CFR 170.110(b). 

(b) At the end of your project period, 

you must submit a final performance 

report, including financial information, 

as directed by the Secretary. If you 

receive a multiyear award, you must 

submit an annual performance report 

that provides the most current 

performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary 

may also require more frequent 

performance reports under 34 CFR 

75.720(c). For specific requirements on 

reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/ 

fund/grant/apply/appforms/ 

appforms.html. 

5. Performance Measures: For the 

purposes of Department reporting under 

34 CFR 75.110, the Department has 

established a set of performance 

measures, including long-term 

measures, that are designed to yield 

information on various aspects of the 

effectiveness and quality of the 

Personnel Development to Improve 

Services and Results for Children with 

Disabilities program. These measures 

include (1) the percentage of 

preparation programs that incorporate 

scientifically based research or EBPs 

into their curricula; and (2) the 

percentage of scholars completing the 

preparation program who are 

knowledgeable and skilled in EBPs that 

improve outcomes for children with 

disabilities. 

The measures apply to projects 

funded under this competition, and 

grantees are required to submit data on 

these measures as directed by the Office 

of Special Education Programs. 

Grantees will be required to report 

information on their project’s 

performance in annual and final 

performance reports to the Department 

(34 CFR 75.590). 

The Department will also closely 

monitor the extent to which the 

products and services provided by the 

project meet needs identified by 

stakeholders and may require the 

project to report on such alignment in 

its annual and final performance 

reports. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps 

the Department assess the impact of its 

information collection requirements and 

minimize the public’s reporting burden. 

It also helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. The 

Department is soliciting comments on 

the proposed information collection 

request (ICR) that is described below. 

The Department is especially interested 

in public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note

response to this notice will be

Transparency Reporting Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

local, and Tribal governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 149,800. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,665,823. 

Abstract: The regulations in § 668.408 

in Subpart Q—Financial Value 

Transparency, that were negotiated in 

2022 and the Final Rule published in 

2023, establish reporting requirements 

for postsecondary institutions who 

participate in the title IV programs 

under the Higher Education Act of 1965, 

as amended, to report on their students 

who enroll in, complete, or withdraw 

from a gainful employment (GE) 

program or an eligible non-GE program 

in specified award years. The new 

regulations also define the timeframes 

for institutions to report the required 

information. This is a request for a new 

collection to allow the Department to 

obtain the required information and 

assess the burden on institutions. The 

average burden hours of 2,665,823 is for 

the average 149,860 responses for 4,518 

respondents over 3 years. We divided 

the total 3 year burden hours of 

7,997,468, and the 499,580 responses by 

3 to obtain these averages.
